21. I know that logic doesnt work.

Tue Jul 7, 2026, 10:27 PM

Tuesday

But after rewatching the film of the musical "1776" on Saturday, I clocked the "Cool, considerate men" goose-stepping to the refrain "To the right, ever to the right, never to the left, forever to the right", you realize that they are the ones moving radically away from the center. It's no wonder they call Democrats radical leftists, because they can't even see the center from their perch in Fascist territory.

Hammer the Fascists. They moved away from the rest of us, just like they did in the 19th century.
